2010 Collecting Goals- How'd you do?

[Primetime]

only netted two books for 2010. Got a Cap 1 back in my collection and upgraded my Tec 29.

[Fazybones]

I mis-read the thread the first time and thought the OP was asking

what are your collecting goals for the next year.

 

I didn't have a great year with a few of life's problems and I still

managed to buy a few nice books, including a CGC 9.4 Cap 110

five slabbed Russ Heath DC War books and a few nice SA

Batman books as the high-lites.

 

 

I'm hoping to finish off a time payment deal for 6 slabs and 24

HG raw books before the year ends.

 

I sure hope I can go back to my regular comic budget very soon

with just a bit of luck.

I think I said this time last year it was all about quantity over quality. I wanted/needed to get a basis for my new collection and that is exactly what I have done. In the middle of the year I was aiming for passing 3000 comics and I achieved that back in September.

 

Mission accomplished.

Wanted to set up a Signature Series signing with Sam Kieth. Finally got it done with a month to spare!

 

[TheLiamSturgess]

I never did complete my Laugh and Jughead with Archie Digest runs, so I didn't really accomplish much of anything...

[Larryw7]

The only goal I set for myself was getting an early Batman from 1-5, and I got a restored #3. Now if I can only hold onto it for awhile!

My goal was consolidation and few purchases....unfortunately mission accomplished.

[fantastic_four]

I wanted to get a nice Fantastic Four #1 and a nice Amazing Fantasy #15...got one but not the other.

I upgraded my Amazing Adventures 11-17 run and won a bronze-age award

 

I got one of my grail books Uncle Scrooge 1 in CGC 9.4 (with white pages!)

 

I finished my CGC 9.8 run of Uncanny X-Men 251-300

 

And I got to take my son to his second Emerald City ComiCon. Both he and mom had a blast for the second year in a row so it is now officially a yearly family tradition

 

I also made some major improvements in my bronze-age Thor run, upgraded my silver/bronze uncle Scrooge run, came within two books of finishing my CGC 9.8 run of Harbinger and upgraded my Wolverine 1-189 run.

 

All in all, it was a very good year. However, my comic budget is zero so in order to get books, I had to part with some gems.

I think I did pretty well this year and definitely spent the most this year than any other years
